Randy Orton heel turn
Randy Orton goes back to 2011 Randy Orton. He just turns and snaps. The crowd was part stunned, part cheering. They were ready for this side of Randy Orton to come back.
Hangman Page vs. MJF stipulation
If Hangman Page loses, he will never go and vie for the heavyweight championship again. I just think it's a hat on a hat on a hat. If MJF wins, how long is Hangman Page going to be in AEW? Because my thought is, if you're never going to vie for the championship, how long is your contract?
Cody Rhodes blood spot
The one thing that's money in this business that's guaranteed is a Rhodes that bleeds. When you bust open the Rhodes, that's absolutely money because now you got a fresh match.
Hangman Page/CM Punk history
I don't see WWE sacrificing CM Punk's happiness and getting along with everybody to sign Hangman Page. So I don't know. I am very intrigued.
Young Bucks vs. FTR beef
There's something going on here between the Young Bucks and FTR. I don't know if this is a Hangman Page-CM Punk situation or what, but there's something going on here more so than the egos that both these teams have.
AEW booking criticism
This is where AEW and Tony Khan come off way more as a guy who's metaphorically throwing darts at the wall because he's just excited by the idea of this person versus this person. It doesn't match up when you try to look at the stories and the personalities.
Randy Orton character analysis
When you have Randy Orton, he is one of the best heels ever. I respect the guy and I want to root for his legacy, but what I think is far more entertaining and profitable is a mob flick character who doesn't think twice about killing somebody. That's Randy Orton.
Randy Orton/Cody Rhodes segment
It was such a visual. He takes those same bloody hands and arms and he goes and sits in the chair and clutches the title. It was a home run.
AEW booking philosophy
I don't see Tony Khan ever saying, oh, we're going to go back and Hangman's going to win his freedom back a year or two later. I feel like Tony would be like, no, we told the audience, we sold the audience on a match where if you lose, you're never going to challenge for the title again.
AEW Revolution match stipulations
I hate two out of three falls matches. Unless it's the three stages of hell kind of thing where you're getting three different gimmicks, I don't care nor appreciate the psychology of how we got to the third fall.
